“Do you know what the average age of death from Covid is? It’s 82 years and three months. The average age of death normally? 81 years old”, said Humphreys. “Do you understand we have f***ed our economy because old people are dying?”“Do you know what the average age of death from Covid is?

“You have failed me! I’ve been a Labour voter my entire life. You have failed to be the opposition.

According to Bath local news reporter Stephen Sumner, Starmer was in the city to express his support for high-street business, and the MP told reporters after the incident that “the vast majority of people” disagreed with Humphreys and “recognise that the lockdown was necessary.”According to Bath local news reporter Stephen Sumner, Starmer was in the city to express his support for high-street business, and the MP told reporters after the incident that “the vast majority of people” disagreed with Humphreys and “recognise that the lockdown was necessary.”
As to whether Starmer has permission to visit The Raven in the future, Humphreys said in an interview with the financial publication IFA Magazine, “No one comes into my pub without my permission, and he does not have my permission.”As to whether Starmer has permission to visit The Raven in the future, Humphreys said in an interview with the financial publication IFA Magazine, “No one comes into my pub without my permission, and he does not have my permission.”
Humphreys said he was physically stopped by Starmer’s security from entering his own pub while the politician was inside.
